Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the best hospital for deep brain stimulation in Turkey?

At MediGence, we help you choose the best hospital for deep brain stimulation in Turkey by offering a curated list of top JCI-accredited hospitals with advanced neurosurgical care. Our platform enables you to compare facilities, specialists, and success rates, ensuring informed decision-making. We also assist with priority appointments and end-to-end care coordination.

How long will it take me to recover from Deep Brain Stimulation in Turkey?

Generally speaking, you should budget for a stay of two to three weeks in Turkey. A 5- to 7-day hospital stay is typically required for the DBS procedure, which includes preoperative evaluation and postoperative monitoring. After surgery, device programming begins, typically a few days later and is modified over several sessions. Initial programming may be finished in one to two weeks at specific centres. For patients going abroad, longer stays might be recommended. Always check the schedule in advance with the hospital that is treating you.

Can I schedule a video consultation with a Turkish-based specialist in deep brain stimulation before I travel?

Yes, you can schedule a video consultation with a deep brain stimulation specialist in Turkey through MediGence before your trip. This allows you to discuss your medical condition, share reports, and get expert opinions from top neurosurgeons without the need to visit in person initially. It helps you understand your treatment options, estimated costs, and prepare for the journey. MediGence makes the process seamless by coordinating the consultation and ensuring all your questions are addressed in advance.

Do doctors for Deep Brain Stimulation in Turkey have international training or board certification?

Yes, DBS physicians in Turkey are specialists in neurology or neurosurgery who are registered with the Turkish Medical Association (TMA) and frequently hold FRCS (Neurosurgery) certification. The majority participate in clinical trials and research. They are familiar with the latest DBS systems, such as those from Abbott, Boston Scientific, and Medtronic, thanks to their international training and experience.

Can I obtain a second opinion from a different Deep Brain Stimulation specialist in Turkey?

Indeed, second opinions are encouraged and widely accepted in Turkey. You can request a review from a different DBS specialist at a different hospital for an independent assessment. Neurological evaluations, medication histories, and MRI scans might be required. These consultations can take place virtually or in person. Confirming the treatment plan or exploring other options can be accomplished by obtaining a second opinion.

How can I check the credibility of a Turkish doctor who practices deep brain stimulation?

The first step in evaluating a Turkey physician's credibility for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is to confirm that they are registered with the Turkish Medical Association (TMA); ideally, they will be on the Specialist Register for neurology or neurosurgery. Seek certifications such as MRCP or FRCS (Neurosurgery), and inquire about training at prestigious Turkish or foreign universities.

What are the success rates for Deep Brain Stimulation in Turkey?

In Turkey, DBS has a high success rate, particularly in centres with experience, with over 70–85% improvement in motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Significant benefits are also seen in patients with essential tremor or dystonia. Accurate electrode placement, long-term programming, and appropriate patient selection are crucial to success. Complication rates are generally low, particularly in hospitals with high patient volumes. Turkish centres follow international best practices and NICE guidelines. For ongoing improvement, many also take part in DBS research and outcome tracking.
